dollars in oil and gas each year the average person lives on less than one dollar per day there are no there schools no good roads no good hospitals every year over three hundred oil spills contaminate the region and constant clearing of precious natural gas police the ecosystem. as well companies and corrupt politicians reap enormous profits the inhabitants of the niger delta live in poverty. under these circumstances there was no surprise to me that a conflict that ignited in which militants pipelines sabotage close to us and kidnapped foreign oil workers telling. me did i had to leave my guess. is. troubled economy. leslie. the truth is i always tend to root for the underdog and i felt an attraction to these men who were taking on the world's largest oil corporations and the corrupt

government of africa's most populous nation so i took my camera to nigeria to try to meet them. bob as bad. as. ever you feel you i voted for you through. it. all. why did not you call we don't let you fall stuff yes or.

yes or. yes. yes or yes but out to an end yes a few city thank you. only what you see doesn't add. but. i decided to follow the camp commander's advice traveling with some fishermen i set

out to see for myself what life is like in the niger delta and hopes of understanding the conditions out of which the militancy was born. my brother such a life is sweet it's just that there is no money. manager good life is not easy. but i had to keep a low profile numerous foreign journalists and documentary filmmakers had already been expelled country. government forces. on a mission to combat the militants and protect the oil from illegal. and many in the niger delta field as the oil companies and the federal government were robbing the region of oil. we passed by bonny island where multinational oil companies like shell. and agile tap into the thirty six billion barrels of oil beneath our feet. and i find myself in a jock or

a tiny fishing village that is frequently visited by the. militants from a nearby camp. i think it's deserved never know probably. the government we have been i do in the event not to god not to him. not to know about. and i joke. i do wonder. if. do you think they're no longer here. i beg go out of office were. the stronger voice.

why can't they find somewhere else to stay. far away. what are they doing. it looks like they've carry some people in this big bed and they bend to. it but doesn't it. the cargo hold michael see it will be bad for them if they run out of bullets what a world we live in is this an urban life or rural life would allow a new born and. are they dragging the other speedboat along there using their guns to signal a child. even in the midst of a conflict so ordinary life takes its course and its twenty three year old named mom goes into labor for. food. and the man came out to his come.

the militants have laid claim seem just. but i want to learn more about why some young men choose to enter the ranks of the militants and about the leaders the draw them into the struggle so i made my way to the camp of the notorious to take a tom cruise niger delta patriotic force as one of the strongest in the region. israel to record high of one hundred thirty three dollars per barrel supplied to the limits of the greater the niger delta. all until recently launched the salvage on development company late monday. they are next to enjoin the people. known to be terrorizing the area that people had allowed to carry out such as to be killing maiming and he said people. of the. five. hundred. that it would.
